Concerning newly trained employees jumping ship:

Actually the TV program (which I referred to in my earlier message) that
indicated that European companies were viewing retraining of displaced
employees as an obligation, mentioned that these companies weren't all that
concerned that the retrained employees would leave for greener pastures.
The general philosophy seemed to be that even if the employee left, the
company would be able to get someone who had been retrained by another
company (no net loss) and even if they didn't, the retrained employee would
be earning more at the new job and would be spending more therefore
supporting the economy and therefore the company.
